Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded | Turn 1 Blightsteel Colossus - The Brewery [S02E17]

Greetings, everyone! Welcome to The Commander Tavern! I am Demented Kirby and this is the 17th episode of the 2nd season of one of the series on this channel, The Brewery. This series is all about brewing and deck techs - hopefully showcasing the spiciest of brews!

This episode of The Brewery is my take on Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded. This deck is all about cheating in fatties as quickly as possible for value. The deck has a lot of synergy in taking the most advantage possible out of the creatures you’re sneaking in. If you want to see the complete decklist for this deck, you can find it at this link: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/purphoros-bronze-blooded-1/?cb=1578009273

As I mentioned in the video, these are a just few examples of achieving Turn 1 Blightsteel Colossus. Keep in mind that there are many different ways to assemble these hands since you can swap out some rituals for others if you have Ancient Tomb or Crystal Vein in your opening hand, as well. Since I wanted to get this video out as quickly as possible, I will continue to update these possible hands later on.

EXAMPLE #1: OPENING HAND: Blightsteel Colossus (any land that isn’t Temple of the False God) Mana Crypt Mana Vault Simian Spirit Guide or Lotus Petal Seething Song (extra slot)

STEPS:

1. land + Mana Crypt = 1CC
2. 1 for Mana Vault = CCCCC
3. Simian Spirit Guide = R
4. CCR for Seething Song = CCCRRRRR
5. CCCRR for Purphoros
6. RRR for Blightsteel Colossus

EXAMPLE #2: OPENING HAND: Blightsteel Colossus Mountain Simian Spirit Guide Lotus Petal Irencrag Feat Mana Crypt or Sol Ring Desperate Ritual or Pyretic Ritual

STEPS (with Mana Crypt):

As always, thanks to all you viewers for your interest! Comment down below how else would you build Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded. What types of creatures would you include?
